 * 2) how education needs to change to keep up with changes in society
 * 3) the roles of students and teachers
 * 4) what skills students need in the future
 * 5) What role technology can play

You are goin to look at two types of lessons using technology.

 * look through this biology lesson using a Web Quest to teach students about Plants. Make notes on how this may be a valuable learning object

Think about how these lessons might help develop the skills mentioned in the two readings. For example, how might they help students:
 * 1) communicate
 * 2) work in teams
 * 3) compromise
 * 4) think critically
